A daily glycolic lotion that evens tone and wakes up a dull complexion
Caudalie Vinoperfect Concentrated Brightening Glycolic Essence is a radiance essence for all skin types, including sensitive, that evens out the complexion and revives dull skin. Glycolic acid gently exfoliates to refine skin texture and boost glow, while white peony brightens and unifies the tone. Caudalie's signature grape water adds hydrating, soothing and prebiotic benefits. With 98% ingredients of natural origin and a light orange blossom scent, it is the natural step before a dark spot serum, boosting its results. Used morning and evening, it prepares the skin to receive the next steps of the routine and gradually gives a more luminous, even and healthy-looking complexion.
The texture
A clear, watery lotion that absorbs almost instantly. It leaves the skin fresh, soft and slightly glowing, never sticky, and works under any serum or cream. You can shake a few drops into your palms and press them into the skin, or sweep it over the face with a cotton pad for a gentle exfoliating wipe. The orange blossom scent is light and fades quickly. It layers well under the Vinoperfect serum, which is where it gives its best results against dark spots.
Who it suits
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin tone and dark spots, including sun and age spots
- Rough texture and visible pores
- Anyone new to acids who wants a gentle start
- Vegan routines with mostly natural-origin ingredients
Worth knowing before you buy: glycolic acid makes skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear SPF every day while using it. It contains orange blossom water with natural fragrance allergens (linalool, limonene). Start once a day if your skin is reactive.
How long one bottle lasts
Used morning and evening with a few drops or a cotton pad, the 100ml bottle lasts around two months. Applied with the hands only, it lasts closer to three months.
